DAY 154 TEMPLE OF THE MISSING TOOTH


Happy birthday Mylon. We were going to celebrate Mylon’s birthday at the ruins of Polonnaruwa, but instead we stayed right here in Kandy to celebrate Mylon turning 18 and Viena losing her 3rd tooth. Check outh er new smile. Our move this morning to different accommodations was the easiest so far – 100 steps down the road. Still not feeling very good, but good enough to walk down the street in the rain to have some KFC ice cream. In Sri Lana we have not seen very many chain store. Mostly open Markets for everything. Not too many street vendors for food. But I did pick up a 40 cent bag of tasty steamed chick peas. However, right down the street is a Food City SuperMarket and a Kentucky Fried Chicken. I will not be surprised if we are not greeted at the Jordanian Airport by Colonel Sanders. The rains have cooled the temperature down a little bit this afternoon. Ezra told me about the dog needing to go to the Veterenarian and he pronounced the word better than I could. Also Sri Lanka TV is unique in that they have a learning channel, meditation channel, and of course a 24/7 dedicated to cricket matches. Ezra has been good at exclaiming when he sees a Buddhist monk. I think I learned how to say Verterenariona when I was 22 and saw my first Buddhist monk years later. Viena lost her tooth today. Now we need to go bury her tooth at Temple of the Tooth.
